The Mountain Rescue and Intervention Group (GREIM) of the Civil Guard has found the lifeless body of a young man in the Masca area (Buenavista del Norte).

This is the location where 19-year-old Englishman Jay Slater was last geolocated before he went missing on June 17.

"The discovery was made possible thanks to the relentless and discreet search efforts conducted by the Civil Guard over the past 29 days," the Civil Guard stated in a press release issued on Monday.

Guardia Civil indicated that "all evidence" suggests that the body may be that of the missing British teenager. "Initial investigations reveal that he might have suffered an accident in the difficult-to-access area where he was found."
